Does anybody know about the Jaebo UV steralizers that are on Amazon for about $70? They claim 36W. Are they really that good.

IMO...they're not necessary if you're keeping up with tank maintenance and have a good filter. Also, they only kill free floating bacteria/algae.
I have the Aqua Ultraviolet and took it out since it was in tank and was heating up my water.
My tank is still clear and my fish...healthy and disease free.

That makes both of us.
I use the TMC V2 unit on my tank. Well I actually run 2 of them. My dad ran the same unit on his marine tank aswell, no issues
The Jaebo units don't have pumps so I would think you could use whatever pump you want to reach the level of sterilization that you desire.
When I first set up my 265G two years ago water clarity was a huge problem during cycling. I don't think that was really uncommon but my water was green with algae even with WC. I decided to throw two killing machine in the sump and within two days it all cleared up.
Make no mistake, I cannot say it's sterilizing anything, but I know it did a good job clearing my tank. I probably dont need it anymore, but I still keep the two 24watts in my sump. Where I have it the water is fairly filtered so iv only changed the filter twice in two years and that's just because I had a bunch sitting around.
